The crucial difference: "ce" and "ci" vs. "che" and "chi"
The most common error at the A2 level is confusing the hard C and the soft C. This single mistake can change the meaning of your words and confuse your listener.
The Soft Sound (Suono Dolce)
When C is followed by E or I, the sound is soft, like the English ‘ch’ in “cheese.”
Example: Cena (Dinner), Cinema (Cinema).
The Hard Sound (Suono Duro)
When C is followed by H + E or H + I, the sound is hard, like the English ‘k’ in “kite.”
Example: Che (What), Chitarra (Guitar).
A2 Practice: Say these words aloud. Is your sound correct? Cielo / Chiave / Dolce / Barche.
Double trouble: why Italian doubles its consonants (consonanti doppie)
In Italian, double consonants are not optional—they are essential for meaning! At the A2 level, you must start hearing and producing the sound correctly.
The Rule: A double consonant is held for a fraction of a second longer, and the tongue pushes slightly harder.
| Single Consonant | Double Consonant | Meaning | Your Mistake (A2) |
| Pala (Shovel) | Palla (Ball) | You must distinguish them. | You pronounce them the same. |
| Fato (Destiny) | Fatto (Fact/Done) | They are two different words. | Your listener is confused. |
This is why reading rules is not enough. You need live online Italian classes with a certified native teacher who can hear your mistakes and correct them instantly.
